In context
20When you see Jerusalem ringed by armies, then know that her desolation is near. 21Then those in Judea must flee to the hills, those inside the city must get out, and those in the countryside must not go into it, 22for these are days of reckoning, when everything that is written will be fulfilled. 23How terrible for those who are pregnant and to those nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress upon the land, and wrath against this people. 24They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led away captive among all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles have run their course.
